Application Vfiled March 7, 1927. Serial No. 173,573.` i

This invention relates to new and useful improvements incoifee pots and'has for its primary object to provide a pot equipped with a readily removable strainer plate back of the pouring spout'of the pot so as to permit Said' plate to be cleaned 0r to permit plates having openings of various sizes to be inserted within the pot. Y

With 4the foregoing and Aother objects in view as 'the naturel of the invention willbe better understood, the same comprises the novelform, combination and arrangement ofv `more fully described,"

Now having particular reference to the drawing, 5-,-5 indicates a generally conven-` tional vcoee pot having'a rolled and reinforced'upper edgeI 6 and being equipped adj acent'said upper edge with a pouring spout 3o 7 communicating with the interior of the pot as clearly disclosed in Figures 2 and 3.'

In carrying out the present invention there is'` arranged upon the interior of the pot around the pouring spout afrelative V- shaped strip of metal '8, the inner edge of whicli is formed `with Van* inwardly offset flange 9 to provide a guide channel `between .said metallic strip and the coffee pot proper. The invention further consists of a strainer 40 plate 10 slightlydcurved in a transverse direction so as to conform to the curvature of the pot 5 as clearly disclosed in Figure'2. Furthermore, this plate 10 is of tapering formation toward its vupper edge and ispro-` 15 vided with strainer openings ll'of a .prede termined number and size within the edges l thereof,. the side and lower edges of this plateadapted for sliding engagement within the yOffset" flange 8 at the inner edge* of the 50 guide strip If desired, a plurality of these plates'may be dispensed with each coffee pot, the variousjplates having different sized openings therein depending upon the size of the coee grains being used.

It will thus be seen thatr a coffeepot equipped with a Vstrainerplate of this character maybe readily Vand thoroughly cleaned and wherein the strainer plate may be readily Vremoved when the same damagedf I claim is In a coffee wherein the same is formed with a substantially triangular shaped opening in the side wall thereof Vadjacent its upper edge, and from which extends a pouring spout; a relatively V-shaped metallic strip secured vto the inner face of the wall of the pot and surrounding the triangular opening, the inner becomes worn or Having thus described the invention, what f pot of the lclass described,

edge portion of the strip being bent inwardly andthence laterally toprovide a V-shaped offset and a similar shaped retaining flange, the edge of saidl flange terminating 'beyond the adjacent side edges yof the opening formed l-in the side edges of the pot, and a triangular shaped plate formed with a series g' `-of-openings and being. curved transversely throughout its length to conform to thecontoureof'the pot, said,plate being of greater` vdimensions than the triangular openings and being adapted for detachable dispositionbetween the inner'wall of theu pot and said'V-V shaped flange, vthe side edges of the plate en-v gaging the offset portions of the V-shaped strip, the upper edge of the plate extending beyond the upper ends of the Vshaped strip and terminating below theY upper edge ofthe coffee pot.

In testimonywhereof I afix my signature.
